South Africa's commitment to sustainable development aims at balancing socio-economic development and protection of environmental resources.
The South African Waste Information System (SAWIS) was developed by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) in 2005.This is a system used by government and industry to capture routine data on the tonnages of waste generated, recycled and disposed of in South Africa on a monthly and annual basis.
Government of different countries have to take necessary steps to manage waste in a sustainable manner.In this context, government of South Africa has launched research chairs on waste management.Scope of these research chairs is to bring about changes in the waste management sector also helping the socio-economic development of the country.
The newly formed research includes the South African Research Chair in Waste and Climate, and the South African Research Chair in Waste and Society.
Waste and society and waste and climate are the two important areas of focus for the South African Waste, Research, Development and Innovation Roadmap.
